Thanks. I've used thick paper, too. But I'm looking for papers 
that will look and feel more like photographs. The inkjet papers 
are obvious candidates, but I don't know if their coatings will 
melt and mess up the printer's innards.

Hi David,

I've used quite a few different papers in my laser printer.
Never tried inkjet paper, but I have used paper as thick
as card stock.  The only thing I have noticed though is that
it doesn't do well with highly textured paper -- the smoother
the better.
